There are several extant Kama Vajrakilaya lineages, not just the Khon Kilaya. What sets the Khon Kilaya apart is that its lineage has been continuous in a single family. But it has no completion stage practice.

Which are the other Kama lineages?

There are several: The Tantra tradition, largely arranged and preserved by Jigme Lingpa; Ronzom's tradition; Rog's tradition, and the Tsogyal Aural Lineage,

Cool deal. Blessings w the Khön lineage are pretty awesome btw.

The criticisms of others are like wrathful mantras. Fast purification. Welcome it. -can’t remember who

So i revive this thread to ask a specific question, and instead of responding it immediately gets sidetracked into Kama Phurba lineages?

"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme
